Implementation & Regulation

Kendig Keast Collaborative's implementation and regulatory practice includes drafting consensus-based land development regulations, including complete code rewrites, subdivision regulations, code amendments for specific purposes, interim ordinances to ensure protection of community character or resources while permanent regulations are drafted, code critiques, and model codes. In some cases, our principals and senior staff have drafted proposed zoning amendments on behalf of private-sector clients who seek to develop or redevelop property in progressive ways that are not permitted under existing zoning regulations in the jurisdiction where the project is proposed.

Of course, plan implementation is more than regulation. Our practice also includes such nonregulatory measures as creating frameworks for interlocal agreements, public-private partnerships, and transfer or purchase of development rights systems. Our principals and senior staff have worked on codes, code amendments, code critiques, and other plan implementation programs in more than 80 jurisdictions.
